Metro seeks community members to serve on a new advisory committee. It will guide RID Patrol as it expands its existing work transition program to create career pathways for people with systemic barriers to employment. Applications accepted until Jan. 8.

Metro’s RID Patrolprogram tackles the problem of garbage dumped on public property and provides other cleanup services around greater Portland.

RID Patrol is in the process of expanding its existing work transition program. The new program aims to create career pathways for people who’ve experienced employment difficulties due to inequities in their lives. This program will be designed to support a transformational experience for people with systematic barriers to employment and specifically focus its services to support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) impacted by the criminal justice system.

Whether your roots in the region run generations deep or you moved to Oregon last week, you have your own reasons for loving this place – and Metro wants to keep it that way. Help shape the future of the greater Portland region and discover tools, services and places that make life better today.
